Qi Jingzhi flew for a long time, but the shadowy tower ahead was still out of reach.
"As the saying goes, if you look up the mountain and run away, the horse will die, and this is indeed true."
He sighs with emotion, and immediately sinks his mind and spirit into the light of enlightenment in his heart. Only then does he realize that he was just standing in the same place before, and never got close to the spiritual platform.
"Watching the mountains and running horses in the mortal world, no matter how far away it is, you will eventually arrive. However, in this empty valley in my heart, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely only on the guidance of spiritual light and the candle of my heart to illuminate the way. I blindly cover my head. Flying around is just a useless effort and will never truly reach the spiritual platform."
When Qi Jingzhi had this thought, he immediately stopped flying and folded his wings.
While he was observing the void carefully, he called out the "Secret Scroll of Green Feather" stored in the crane's wings, hoping to find a way to solve the predicament at hand.
"Qingyu Secret Scroll", as the Xianyu Zhengfa personally taught by Xuandu Temple Master, can be said to be broad, profound, mysterious and subtle. It naturally describes the mind and the spiritual platform practice in detail. However, Qi Jingzhi could not reach the realm and comprehend it before. Deep, now we have to dig a well when we are thirsty and sharpen our guns when we are in battle.
After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that even if he had an epiphany tonight and saw the spiritual platform, he could still only clearly see the "Preface to the Theory of the Golden Elixir" as the general outline of the "Qingyu Secret Scroll", and he still had no chance to see the subsequent chapters.
Among the many items in the "Preface to the Theory of the Golden Elixir", "The Theory of the Heart as the King" ranks at the top. It emphasizes using the heart as the home of the soul, and controlling creation with the mind, so that the spirit obeys its orders, the Qi obeys its apertures, and the essence. From his call, he finally "sees the golden crow when the clouds gather, and a little aura of light shines through his eyes", which just confirms the progress of Qi Jingzhi's practice at this time when his mind is united and his eyes are filled with aura.
"The eyes are the home of the mind. The mind wanders in the eyes and works in the heart."
"With eyes fixed, the spirit returns to the heart. The return of spirit to the heart is the foundation of tranquility."
"When the mind is calm, the mind is intact, and when the mind is intact, the nature is revealed."
Qi Jingzhi chewed it word by word, and his slightly impetuous mood gradually calmed down due to his improvement in practice: "Yes, although I have just given up distracting thoughts and wandered around to find spiritual light, I have developed an obsession with the spiritual platform. So that my eyes are dazzled by aura, my heart is wandering, and there is no sense of tranquility at all. The more I try to flap my wings, the more I go in the opposite direction, unable to return to my hometown and see the spiritual platform..."
After he figured this out, his heart suddenly became clear, and he immediately embraced her with his wings and an open mind.
"Sailing with the current is soaring; driving against the current is hard work. Once you go home, you will feel homesick and quiet."
"Therefore, what is done is the intention of daily use; what is inactive is the intention of the golden elixir. Taking action returns to inaction, and then returns to the real thing with inaction, which is the entrance of the golden elixir."
During the breath, Qi Jing's eyes were fixed, his mind returned to his heart, and his whole person sank into a wonderful state of no thought, no action, and a lingering feeling.
At the same time, the second-ranked "Theory of God as the Lord" in the "Preface to the Golden elixir" suddenly lit up, and the verses jumped out on their own, reflected directly into his crane eyes, and turned into candles in his heart. The lamp oil of the fire makes its flame more intense.
"The Husband God has the Yuan Shen, and the Desire God. The Yuan Shen is a little bit of spiritual light from innateness. The Desire God is the nature of the temperament. The Desire God is originally small, but it has been growing day by day since birth, and finally it has reached its peak. Covering the soul is like clouds covering the sun and moon. It is difficult to return to the innate state and the true form cannot be seen."
"If a monk wants to give up his daily life and use the golden elixir, he will clear the clouds to see the blue sky, and the sun and moon will cast their candles and shine down."
"The method of turning away clouds is to use a mirror to observe the shape, and to use things to refine the heart. The mirror can detect the shape without missing a hair. When the shape is gone, the mirror is itself a mirror. Using things to refine the heart, feelings have no other use. When things are gone, the heart is itself. …”
"The form disappears and the mirror reflects itself? The matter disappears and the mind reflects its own mind?"
After comprehending this point, a bright mirror as bright as the bright moon suddenly appeared above the head of the green-feathered crane with angry eyes, and what was reflected in it was a young man in plain clothes and straw sandals.
Almost at the same time, a little spiritual light jumped up from the arms of the young man in the mirror. It looked like a star in the sky, a round tutu, a shimmering light, blooming with a bright red gold light, intersecting with the ding of the heart candle in the crane's eyes.
"So you are here!"
Under the bright mirror, the green-feathered crane with angry eyes quietly transformed back into a young man.
He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled. At the same time, he flipped his palm, and suddenly there was a spiritual star in his palm. When he was illuminated by its light, he suddenly felt warm all over his body, and his heart became more condensed.
"The mirror can detect shapes without missing a hair... This mysterious mirror of heaven and earth hangs in my heart, reflecting me to every detail. It contains both bright nature and dark thoughts. No wonder I, a mere monk in the realm of induction, can see this... It can attract Yin demons that block the way, and that Yin demon can also change into my appearance."
Qi Jingzhi withdrew his gaze from the Mysterious Mirror of Heaven and Earth, looked at the aura stars and the light nature in his palm, and pondered: "Since it is called the Golden Crow aura, and now that the aura has been obtained, where is the Golden Crow?"
"Master once said when talking about the inheritance of Xianyu Mountain, the power of heaven and earth is mixed with the black and yellow in the vitality; the yin and yang are unknown, conquering the fortune in the furnace. The spring is prosperous and the autumn is falling, the four seasons change the opportunity of cold and heat; the jade rabbit and the golden crow, the two rays travel and hide. Luck."
""Qingyu Secret Scroll" combines the strengths of the two alchemy methods of Xianyu and Tiantai. It is even mentioned in the general outline that Dao Dao uses golden elixirs to cook black rabbits, subdue dragons and tigers, understand the laws of the sky, and change the day with time. , and the creation of the heaven and the earth is like the sun and the moon combined, so it is immortal."
"From this point of view, whether it is Xianyu Mountain's Honglu Dinghuo Sword Intent or Tiantai Mountain's "Qinghua Golden Pill Essentials", one cannot avoid the sun and the moon when practicing, and pay attention to cooking the black and refining the rabbit."
"The little bit of spiritual light I got tonight is far from the so-called two rays of light and the sun and the moon, let alone cooking a black rabbit. However, I finally got a glimpse of this way and entered the right path of practice... …”
Qi Jingzhi's thoughts were flying, but they started from the so-called Cooking Wu Liantu. He thought about his inheritance of Xianyu Mountain, the Hong Furnace of Heaven and Earth, and Lu Lu Tiaoyang. In the smoke are Emperor Kuang, the Sun Mother and the Moon Mother, as well as the Dongyi Shaohao Jintian clan who is known as the Golden Crow patrolling the sky, the Gaoyang clan who hangs in the sky and rules, and the one who holds the essence of Dinghuo in his mouth and illuminates the dark world without the sun. The candle dragon of the country.
"Either they give birth to the sun and the moon, or they transform into the sun and the moon, or they replace the sun and the moon. These ancient powers mediate creation and have their own choices on the road... Do the various miracles and legends passed down by them seem to be mysterious?"
"The valley in the void in my heart is pitch black. I can't tell the up and down directions. There is no arrow-blocking monument to mark the direction, let alone any path. If I want to truly illuminate the void, aim at the direction, and then return to the infinite When I fly to the spiritual platform of my heart, I am afraid I have to choose a way to move the sun and the moon, cook the black rabbit and refine the rabbit, so as to set a benchmark for myself and point out the way."
Qi Jingzhi just had this thought, and suddenly he heard a chant resounding through the air: "Break the wood to brush against the sun, and talk to the sheep while chatting!"
Just as the words fell, there was another shout followed closely, like thunder, the rumbling sound was deafening and deafening: "Qi Jingzhi, do you dare to hold this wooden knife, chop off the dragon's feet, chew the dragon's meat, climb the sea and the Mekong River?" Suppressing the water flowing in the east, approaching the Yu Spring and attracting the day of returning to the west?"
"This is... Mr. Langya's question that day!"
Qi Jingzhi was greatly shocked when he heard this: "When you invited the Ruomu Dao Ling to fry people's life, you asked me this question, and then you took the trouble to explain to me the deeds of the ancient emperor on the back of a whale in the East China Sea. It has a special meaning, as if it had been expected today!"
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate anymore and immediately pulled off the collar hanging around his neck and threw it gently in front of him.
The necklace fell into the void, and the two small snakes on it twisted and intertwined. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a small tree with scorching red flowers and brilliant green gold. Ten branches stretched out in all directions, one branch at the top and nine branches at the bottom. It was impressive. The projection of Ruomu Dao Ling on Qi Jingzhi's mind.
"The destiny is so wonderful that it turns out that I have already chosen this method of cooking crow and making rabbit!"
Qi Jingzhi said solemnly to the little tree: "If this were not the case, how could fellow Taoist entrust this divine form and Tao Yuan to me so easily? You and I will both suffer loss and glory. One day the Tao will be fulfilled, Qi Jingzhi will be rewarded!"
After hearing this, the projection of the Ruomu Daoling Spirit swayed automatically without wind, and at the same time, it stretched out the branch that was alone on the top of the tree towards Qi Jingzhi's palm.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi handed over the Lingguang Tianxing without hesitation, and it was hung on the branch of the small tree.
The next moment, amid the clanking of leaves, I saw this Ruomu tree growing up rapidly, and soon it was as tall as a mountain, even compared with the statue of the God of Autumn in Jiuzhen County and the giant jujube tree of Langya Lord. Favorably.
Qi Jingzhi raised his head and looked up, and saw that the tree was red and brilliant, and there were ten red branches that were like giant mountains lying on the ground, winding in all directions, and leaves that were shaped like copper axes and scales were hanging on the branches, and they were also changing. The deqi was extremely large, and the pieces glowed with green gold and mysterious light, revealing a sharp meaning.
Among the ten long branches, there is only one that stands high on the top of the tree, like the lord of the peaks. A red golden sun hangs at the end of the branch, and is guarded in the center by the other nine branches below.
Qi Jingzhi blinked and stared hard for a moment before finally confirming that in the dazzling halo of the sun, there was a huge high platform shaped like a bird's nest.
"Yes, Mr. Langya once mentioned that Ruomu is a genus of mulberry. It is the legendary tree that lives in the sun. It is said that 'at the end of the tenth day, its flowers will shine on the ground.' And Emperor Chao once prayed in the Wuji Wilderness, hoping that The human monks imitated birds in their hometown and built nests and wooden houses. They also swore the Wuji Dao oath and spread the method of the Lingtai to all living beings..."
"The so-called nest house and the so-called spiritual platform were built by my own hands. Naturally, I can build them wherever I want and how I want them to be built. Why do I need to run around searching for them?"
"From now on, there will always be light in my heart, and I will no longer be in a dark and sunless place!"
Qi Jingzhi felt a heartfelt joy and couldn't help but raise his head and let out an exciting and long chirp.
Before the cry stopped, he had already put his wings on his back, soared into the sky, and headed straight to the top of the tree.
It seemed like he had been flying for a long time, but it seemed like it was just a moment. Qi Jingzhi had flown into the red golden sun and saw his own spiritual platform.
The red gold brilliance in the bright sun was not dazzling, illuminating the nest house and the spiritual platform.
I saw that the branches of the nesting platform were all giant green trees, with feather-like dark flower patterns all over the wood, and the aura of pure Yangjia wood lingering in the air.
Qi Jingzhi was about to get closer and take a closer look when suddenly a big bird flew out from the spiritual platform of the nest house. It was shaped like a crane, but it only had one leg. Its blue feathers were covered with red patterns, and the white bird The beak is slightly open, holding red flames.
As soon as this strange bird appeared, it swooped ferociously towards Qi Jingzhi, whipping up strong winds and billowing heat waves.
"Huh? It turns out that the golden crow is not the only one in the sun, and the candle dragon is not the only one with fire in its mouth."
At this moment, Qi Jingzhi just took a quick glance at the strange bird in front of him and sensed the rich aura of fairy feathers from the other person, but this aura was subtly different from what his master had imparted.
As soon as he said it, the strange bird suddenly opened its mouth and spat out, and immediately the sky was full of flames, rushing towards Qi Jingzhi.
The blazing flames surged with blazing fire, which immediately reminded Qi Jingzhi of the Dan Zao residual sand given by his master.
"Are you trying to make me into a great medicine?"
Although Qi Jingzhi couldn't figure out why there was such a strange bird hidden in his nest, and he attacked him without explanation, he even killed one of the Yin demons that blocked his way. At this time, he faced this strange bird. The strange bird will not sit still and wait to die.
"There are no two suns in the sky, no two masters in the nest! No matter if you are a golden crow or something else, the sun and the moon are cooking people's lives, and I will cook the sun and the moon with respect!"
The young man curled his mouth and swayed his body, and once again transformed into a green-feathered crane with angry eyes. He covered his whole body with the dingy fire of the heart candle, condensing the majestic artistic conception of cooking black rabbit and refining rabbit, and faced him without any sign of weakness.
For a moment, the sky above Ruomu was covered by fire clouds, the sky turned red, and there was a loud roar.
I don't know how long it took, but Qi Jingzhi suddenly opened his eyes and immediately saw a big round face.
He stretched out his hand to brush away Lishan Guangye, whose face was full of shock and inquiry. He raised his eyes and looked around, and found that he was still standing in the lobby of Xiema Inn. No matter his position or posture, he was the same as before when the evil demon came to the door. Generally the same.
The difference was that Ban Bi, who was originally hidden in his arms, appeared on the square table in front of him, looking curiously at a young monk wearing a tiger skin monk's robe.
The young monk, on the other hand, stood among the cups and plates as if no one else was watching, taking a big sip. His monk's clothes were all wet, exuding the fragrant aroma of wine.
When he saw Qi Jingzhi looking over, he immediately smiled sweetly and called "brother" vaguely.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and most of the tiredness in his eyes instantly dissipated.
He turned to look at Lishan Guangye and asked this experienced Ling Tailang: "Have you ever heard of a bird that is red and green, with a white beak holding fire, and a body like a crane but with only one leg? "
Lishan Guangye was stunned when he heard this, and immediately replied: "You should be talking about Bi Fang bird, which is the spirit of fire and can carry fire to cause disasters."
"I remember that there are records in the ancient books of the clan. In the past, Emperor Hong's family gathered the ghosts and gods on Mount Tai. They drove an elephant and a chariot with six dragons. They governed Bifang together. Chiyou was in front. Feng Bo came to sweep, the rain master spread the road, and tigers and wolves were in front. , ghosts and gods are behind, snakes are flying and lying on the ground, phoenixes are covering them, and the ghosts and gods are united, which is called "Qing Jiao"."
"The so-called Bi Fang is under the jurisdiction of both sides, and Chi You is in the front. It means that the Bi Fang bird protects Emperor Hong's chariots and frightens the ghosts and gods in the world. It is a dangerous creature that is almost as powerful as Chi You's flag."
Qi Jingzhi nodded thoughtfully and thought: "The Emperor Hong family uses Bi Fangniao as a guard, and the Wei family of Ji intends to raise those old cranes in Baiyun Township. It sounds like they are of the same origin."
Lishan Guangye could not have guessed what he was thinking. He looked at Qi Jingzhi's face and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of the Mount Tai in the ancient books, it is now called Xitaishan by the Jiang people. It is the same as Mount Tai among the five states of Shengjiang. Dongyue Taizhou and Dongyue Taishan among the three mountains of Shengjiang are not the same thing."
"Speaking of which, the Xitai Mountain mentioned by the Jiang Clan is the place where the Ji Clan and the Jiang Clan first united to worship heaven. Emperor Yan also led the Jiangs to climb it."
"For this reason, when the Holy Queen Xuanyuan came to ascend the throne and became the great emperor, although the Jiangmen moved eastward under the orders of Emperor Hong, they still never forgot about Mount Tai in the West. The Holy King Jiuhe even united with the princes and princes nine times on the way to becoming a great emperor. Ghosts and gods even set up Mount Tai on their own when they became holy kings and named it Dongyue..."
Lishan Guangye said these words in front of Qi Jingzhi. He was really a bit careless. In short, his voice was full of pride as a descendant of the Emperor Hong family. It is no wonder that he refused to cling to the Qi family with the Jiang surname. I want to regain the glory of the Lishan clan with the Ji surname in the past.
Qi Jingzhi heard this, and instead of feeling dissatisfied, Qi Jingzhi had a much better impression of Lishan Guangye, because his ambition, words and deeds were very similar to those of his own Xuandu Mountain Xuandu.
Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, then asked out of curiosity: "Has the music of "Qing Jiao" written by Emperor Hong's family when they were united with ghosts and gods been passed down in your clan?"
Lishan Guangye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It is said that "Qing Jiao" can subdue all the ghosts and demons in the world. It is the joy of the emperor to kill Buwei. An ordinary person is not qualified to learn and play it. My surname is Li, Ji. The Rong tribe of the tribe is a martial artist who rides a horse and takes charge of conquests. The ancestors of the tribe must have heard of this music, but it is a pity that they have no chance to learn it..."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's face immediately showed full of disgust.
He patted Lishan Guangye on the shoulder and comforted him with kind words: "It's not surprising that Jiujiu warriors don't know music. As a descendant of the Dihong family, you just have to know your shame and be brave in the future!"
